The accounts state that the charity reported a positive cashflow of £8k and an operating surplus of £16,212 for the year ended 31 December 2024. However, net assets remain negative at £51,235, a position attributed to significant renovation costs financed partly by interest-free loans. The trustees note that surplus funds are currently being used to re-establish a prudent cash balance after depleting funds over the previous five years.
